The editor of the Hanna Herald 
says: “He has heard of some men 
driving their cars by a shot or two 
‘of guod Scotch whiskey.” “2 


With gasoline at 50c to 60c a 
gallon this may prove valuable 
information to some autoists, and 
at the same tiine a profitable sale 
for some of the surplus “good 
Scotch” after the 30th of June. 


Particularly as gasoline has a 
tendency to go “up” and good 
Scotch ‘to go “down.” 


If a “shot or two of good Scotch 
whiskey" will run an auto, it ought 
‘pe a good lubricator for Mac's 
new gasoline engine.

Coming of Prohibition|An Important 


WILL BRING SOME CHANGES of gREAT INTEREST TO FARMERS 


— 


In view of the fact that the 
present license system goes out 
of existence in Alberta at the end 
of the present month, and that 
prohibition or liquor act will go 
into effect in this province on 
July rst, 1916, it may perhaps be 
well to refresh our memories re- 
garding the new law.. As will be 
seen the druggists, as one of the 
mediums through which spiritous 
liquors are to be obtained, under 
certain conditions, are under very 
heavy penalties for any infring- 
ment of the act, 

In the first place, liquor for 
domestic consumption must be 
brought in from outside the pro- 
vince, as none can be had in this, 
Although there is.nothing in the 
act limiting the quantity which 
any one person can order from 
outside points, yet. there, arethe 
household restrictions, which says 
no householder can have more 
than one quart of spirits and two

by the wiley speculator. 


There are plenty of Bucks left

No truth now that the Austrians 
didn't have a loek-in with the 
Italians, They took a peak.

exceeding five gallons at one time, 
the dentist not in excess of one 
pint, the doctor not exceeding 
two: quarts, the veterinary surgeon 
not exceeding one gallon, These 
can only be disbursed on medical 
certificates, All these professional 
men must make monthly reports 
of the quantities they have and 
have disposed of. They must also 
report their detailed permits. If 
these reports are not right, or are 
not made the neglectful doctor, 
dentist, vet. or druggist is liable 
to a fine of $50.00 for a first 
offence, $200.00 for a second and 
$500.00 for a third. 

The liquor act give the lieuten- 
ant-governor in council the power 
to appoint government vendors to 
sell liquor to such professional 
inen as are permitted to buy or 
ordered sold. 

The. man who consumes liquor, 
beer or spicits, in his home, will 
be put to the necessity of sending 
out of Alberta for it, and probably 
there will be some inconvenience 
experienced by doctors who pre- 
scribe liquor for patients until

“There can be no reason why 


a farmer in. straitened circum- 
stances, wha cannot affurd to buy 


the necessary seed and supply 
the necessary animals, impli 
tnents and labor to cultvate and 


crop his farm, should not make an | 


agreement with a third person 
whereby the latter, for a money 
consideration, should 
specific interest in the farmer's 
crop, or why that interest should 
be taken from him by an execu- 
tion creditor of the farm. 1 
bona fide, it no doubt would 
be financially advantageous to the 
farmer and therefore ultimately 
to his creditors and, as tending 
to the increase of agriculture, in 
accordance with the public policy. 
The law undoubtedly protects the 
third person making the advance 
in such.a case... : eyes 

This was the language used by 
his lordship, Mr. Justice. Beck, of 
the appellate division of the su- 
preme court of Alberta, in dis- 
nissing the appeal of the Inter- 
national Harvester company et al. 
from the decision of his lordship, 
Mr, Justice Stewart, in the case 
of Jacobson et al. vs. The case 
was one of far-reaching interest 
to farmers, especially those who 
happen nat to be in good circum- 
stances- 

The action arose out of a seiz- 
ure made by the appeliant of the 
crop grown by Louis Jacobson 
on his farm near Rumsey during 
1915, 
this an agreement had been made 
by Jacobson with David Weitzer 


the season of Previous to 


that, in consideration of the latter 
loaning the farmer $400 with 
which to putin his crop, Weitzer 
was to receive one-third of the 
crop. The agreement was en- 
tered into in April, 1915, and 
Jacobson put about 100 acres into 
crop. 

There were a number of ex- 
ecution creditors. The execution 
of the 


company was issued and placed 


International Harvester 
in the sheriffs hands on August 
I, 1912, that of the Bank of 


Nova Scotia on April 6, 1914. 
Acting by virtue of the execu- 


tions, the entire crop of Jacob- 
son was seized on August 15th, 
1915, no attention was paid’ to 
the interest claimed by Weltzer 
and the action was started, It 
was tried before his lordship 
Mr. Justice Stuart. The trial 
judge ordered that the one-third 
interest be restored to Weltzer.

CAUSE YET UNKNOWN 


Fire losses have been hitting 
some of the western elevator 
companies pretty hard recently. 
The latest sufferers are the Planet 
Elevator Company of Saskatoon, 
whose house at Dobson, a flag 
station a few miles west of Chin- 
ook,was destroyed Monday night 
with its contents of about 30,000 
bushels of grain. Sunday night 
the elevator belonging to the 
North Star Elevator company of 
Winnipeg, located at Kelsey, on 
the C.N.R., was destroyed, and 
about 27,000 bushels of grain lost

Vancouver, by which the Alberta,

ONLY DOING:IT. FOR. HIS FRIEND 


A certain local young man— 
that is, pretty certain—went into 
a local garage a few days ago to 
enquire about the hire of an auto 
for wedding purposes, ‘You see 
I want to find out fora friend,” 
he informed the man jn charge. 


“he is a bit bashful, so sent me. 


—— 


So everything. was talked over 
and the price fixed and such de- 
tails arranged for “the friend.” 
Then as the man started to leave 
a neighbor, who was present grin- 
ningly remarked, '‘Well, John, 
don't we get an invitation, too ?” 


John (that may or may not be 
his name) turned red in his face, 
as- he does occasionally nowadays 
and went out trying to appear as 
unconscious as any man who is 
doing a good turn for a friend of 
his who is about to be married,

EXPERIMENTS 


Teach Things of Value 


Whrere one has never made the ex- 
periment of leaving olf tea or coffee 
and drinking Postam, it is still easy to 
learn something about it by reading 
the experiences of others. 

Drinking Postum is a pleasy 
out of tea or coffee troubles. A 
writes: 

“My* wife was a victim of nervous- 
ness, Weak stomach and loss of appe- 
tite for years; and although we ¢e- 
sorted to nunicrous methods for relief. 
one of which was a change from cot. 
fee to taa, it was all to no purpose.” 
(Both tea and coffee are injurious to 
many persons. because they contain 
the subtle plusonous drug, caffeine). 
knew coffee was causing the 
trouhte put could not find anything to 
take its place until we tried Postum. 

Vithin two weeks after she quit coffee 
and began using Postum almost all f 
her troubles had disappeared as if py | 
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her 
nervousness was gone, stomach 
trouble relieved, appetite improved ; 
and, above all, a night’s rest was com- 
plete and refreshing, 

“This sounds Hke an exagecration,

“the present union of efforts and or-

among us would never have dreamed 
was - possible.”

‘She Did Not Heed

BUT DODD’S KIDNEY PILLS CUR-

Mrs. McDonald Might Have Saved 
Herself. Months of Pain, Sleepless- 
ness and Anxiety by Using Dodd’s 
Kidney Pills Earlier. 

Grand Narrows, Victoria Co. C.B.— 
(Special).—That Dodd's Kidney ‘Pills 
will cure kidney disease in its worst 
‘form is evidenced by the case of Mrs. 
Roderick McDonald, an estimable res: 
‘ident of this piace. Mrs. McDonald sut- 
fered from diabetes for two years, and 
found her first relief in Dodd's Kidney 
Pills. 

“Tam gure I would be in my grave 
today but for Dodd’s Kidney Pills,” 
Mrs., Mocdonald states. “The doctor 
attended me for five months for dia- 
betes, but | was worse when I stopped 
taking his medicine than when I start- 
ed. | could not get a wink of sleep. 

“As soon as I started taking Doda’s 
Kidney Pills I fell in a solid sleep for 
one hour, and socn I got so that I 
could sleep fine. 

“Dodd's Kidney Pills have done so 
much for me that I feel like recom- 
mending them to everybody.” 

Mrs. McDonald states that her earl- 
ier symptoms were shortness of 
breath, dizziness, backache and a_ Dit- 
ter taste in her mouth in the morn- 
All these are symptoms of kid-

ney trouble—danger signals that no 
one can afford to neglect. Had she

“Community Farming” Does 

The value of community effort for 
the improvement of dairy cattle and

‘ods of dairy practice, says Hoaré d's” 
Dairyman, was first demonstrated to 
Wisconsin dairymen by the county of 
Jefferson, and more especially tie 
community about the comparatively 
small township of Lake Mills. From 
sales of high-grade Holstein fave. 
amounting in -1905 to over $75,000, 
paid largely by men of other states 
and outside the county, the compara- 
tively small township ‘of Lake Mills 
became advertised a prominent 
Holstein community.

Advertising in various forms is ex- 
tremely old. Mention of thigtart is to 
be found even in the’ Old Testament. 
Under the Caesars, the walls of the 
Colesium. used to be plavarded with 
netices from business men in Rome; 
and in ancient Greece il was custom- 
ary to hang in the temples, parchment 
scrolls of. complaints and. personal 
afflictions ‘of the people, which in turn 
led to ingenious interpolations. on the 
state, trade_and business, thus,.calling 
attention to the wares of the com- 
plainants. 

The obelisks of the Rameses’ served 
aturn for the Egyptians and St. Paul's 
Cathedral in London was so covered 
with trade notices at-one time that 
the constabulary-was Inyoked to tear 
them down. ‘ 

All this demonstrated the antiquity 
ot/ advertising, yet it is-only in recent 
years that its magnificent proportions 
were attained. 

s The first regular newspaper to pub- 
lish advertisements was the London 
Weekly News in 1622. The word “ad- | 
vertiser” first appeared in a heading 
in the’ London Gazette in 1666. In 
17230 appeared the first “personal” in] cure,

New Method by Which it is Claimed

Monopolies by holding up prices 
sometimes défeat their own object 
when the cost to the consumer 
reaches a point where invention wails 
on necessity. This appears to be the 
case in regard to gasoline. Owing to 
the demands of the belligerents and 
the great advance in price, attempts 
are being made in America as weil as 
in Europe to find a cheaper substitute. 

An Irish motor car firm claims to 
have discovered a method by which 
the cost of fuel is reduced by eighteen 
e2nts a gallon. In ayublic demonstra: |

of gasoline for a distance of 6.85 miles,

CONCEALED MARKSMEN 


RARELY MISS ‘THEIR AIM 


Some of the Clever Disguises Which are Adopted by German 


Snipers to 


While the charges, the bursting of 
shells, and the hand-to-hand combats 
make up to a great extent the picture 
of war, one of the gravest dangers 
which the soldiers face in the field is 
the bullet of the sniper. They are 
the clever marksmen who select some 
position where they are almost invis- 
ible to their opponents, and send a 
well-directed bullet at each target 
which is exposed for a fraction of a 
minute. 

Remarkable as examples of the in- 
genulty of these snipers are, some of 
the stories of their methods of dis- 
guise which are related by the sold- 
fers who return from the trenches. A 
number of such stories have been com- 
piled by an English newspaper, and 
give an insight. into this method of 


-warfare—an art which has been rais- 


ed so high that a moment's forgetful- 
negs, a second pause in an exposed 
section of the line, spells death to the 
soldier. 

“4 Tommy, recently returned home, 
tells an extraordinary story of the in- 
venulty and death of a German 
sniper,” says the newspaper. “This 
particular sniper was encountered on 
Hill Seventy. When dawn broke the 
soldier was chilled to the -bone and 
weakened with the loss of blood, as 
he had been wounded the night be- 
fore.. Unable to move, he lay flat 
on his back and tried to get some 
sléep. The rest and the warmth of 
the sun revived the soldier and he 
raised his head. Another wounded 
soldier started to walk back to the 
trenches, A moment later he pitched 
forward, shot through the temple by 
a. sniper. 

“Five minutes later another man 
moved. He started to get to his feet, 
but seemed startled by something and 
lay down again quickly. The other 
wounded man followed his example. £ 
moment later he saw the grass, about 
twenty yards away, move ina peculiar 
manney. Instead of moving sideways 
as it would from a body passing 
through it, the grass itself appeared 
to be coming forward. ° . 

“For a minute the movement of the 
grass stopped and then it began 
again, this time coming toward the 
wounded soldier. Suspicion was fin- 
ally aroused to such an extent that 
the soldier took aim at the moving 
tuft of grass and fired three volleys 
fn vapid secession. Crawling over 
to the spot where the mound of 
grass and suddenly stopped twitching, 
he found a dead German sniper. Real 
sods of grass had been bound by 
cords to a waterproof sheet, which 
had been strapped to the sniper's back 
making a perfect disguise for him.” 

Continuing its anecdotes of. ‘the 
snipers, the newspaper quotes from & 
Jong letter written by a soldier, in 
which he explains the dangers pre- 
sented to the men by the snipers. 

“Along one stretch of front,” he 
Bays, “we were much puzzled by the 
angle at which the ‘sniper’s- bullets 
were coming over. On the left was a 
line of leafless pollard willows, but we 
could see that there was nobody be- 
hind the trunks. . 

“Several of our officers tried to find 
a solution, but all to no purpose. At 
last Captain X—. who happened to 
be familiar with the ways of old wil- 
lows, took charge and ordered three 
men to fire a few shots at each wil- 
Jow. The’ sniping ceased. Two of 
the willows were hollow, and the Ger- 
man had crept inside the trees, and 
were firing through cracks in the ste:n 
with automatic revolvers. For two 
days there was no more sniping, but 
on the third day the fire was resum- 
ed as briskly as before, and with just 
as deadly an effect. Fire was opened 
again on the willows, but this time 
there was no result. 

“Captain X— was just as suspic- 
ious as ever, and he instructed the 
nearest battery to make short work 
of the willows. This was done, and 
the third to go revealed the enemy's 
cunning. Inside the willow we found 
not only a German but a steel plate 
which fitted outside him and inside 
the willow, making a proof against 
rifle bullets. 

"While that was a clever trick it 
was little better than the work done 
with the old door. At one spot where 
our. trenches were not more than 100 
yards apart, an old door was lying. 
The top glass panels of it were brok- 
en, the wood beneath it were broken, 
and over the woodwork a gaudy paper 
had been pasted. Its only use was as 
a test for our sights, which we got by 
hitting the door knob or breaking off a 
splinter of glass. 

“One day, however, we were sur- 
prised to find .that when a bullet 
struck’ the glass it left a white streak 
and brought no tinkle. Hitting the 
woodwork had the same effect: it 


brought a white smear, but no splin-- 


ters. We knew something was wrong 
and that night decided to investigate. 
We discovered that the old door had 
been removed and a steel shield put 
in its place. It was painted to look 
like the wood, paper and broken glass. 
with a’ hole near the knob for the 
shiper's rifle. 

“We fixed a surprise for the artist. 
He evidently thought he was going to 
have things his own way. The next 
day when he began his work wo were 
ready for him. Our trick certainly 
was a match for his. We did our act, 
for we sent both the artist and his 
picture flying back into the German 
trenches, and~-the picture was the 
more intact of the two. A well placed 
bomb accounted for him. : 

“We caught a beast of a sniper ina 
curious manner a few months ago. 
Our regiment was stationed about 
eight hundred yards from the German 
trench and, like all others, we suffered 
much for want of water. Half a mile 
in the rear ran a small stream and the 
Men used to steal out .at night for 
water, These men were constantly be- 
ing sniped. 

“A number of our men had been 
killed or wounded in this manner and

~ 


it was agreed that the sniping came 
from somewhere behind our lines. A 
close day’s. search revealed nothing. 
The C.O. was getting savage and his 
attitude obviously demanded that he 
must do something special for the 
benefit .of the undiscovered sniper. 

“Karly one morning the command 
came that we were to make a great 
circle and beat inward, not leaving a 
bit of ground uncovered. Nothing 
came of it—that is to say, nothing 
except a shapeless old French farmer 
whom we found driving his riding 
plow for potatoes. When we ques- 
tioend him he flew into a rage. be- 
cause we were tramping his beloved 
ground and demanded that we clear 
off at once as there was no ‘espion’ 
around, : 

“We had to do so. In making his 
report to our chief the subaltern re- 
marked refiectively as he told of how 
the farmer gnashed his teeth at us, 
‘Jolly fine teeth, and clean, too.’ 

“What?’ snapped the irate C.O. 
‘Mr. X—, you take a couple of men 
and go to the farmer. Engage him 
in conversation while your men pin 
him from behind suddenly. I don't 
Want to lose men capturing a danger- 
ous sniper with clean teeth.’ 

“This was a sharp blow at the sub- 
altern, but it was precisely as our 
chief suggested. The, .old farmer 
| fought like a tiger, and the three men 
were rolling over and over on the 
ground before he could be sately tied. 
He was a powerful young man, and 
a search revealed a belt of cartridges 
and two atitomatic pistols of German 
make, Later in the day we found a 
little dug-ont in a ditch with a rifle 
hidden away in a screen of bushwood. 
There is only one end for.men of this 
kind, and he got it. 

“Don’t think that 


the sniping is 


le. A jconfined to one side. We have some 


;men who are very clever, particu- 
‘larly the Canadian chaps. One such 
‘ig a full-blooded Indian in the Can- 
‘adian infantry, who is a marvel with 
his rifle.’ He has a telescopic sight 
attached to his rifle and goes: about 
as he likes. Hg is a most silent man, 
talking to few persons. He wan- 
ders about the trenches dnd waits for 
a chance to pick off a German. 
“One German sniper recently was 
giving a lot of trouble. Officers with 
glasses tried in vain to locate him. 
The Indian came along, and without 
saying a word to anyone fired at a 
big tree. Down came the sniper. The 
Indian saw with his naked eye what 
the office*s with their glasses failed to 
discover. He puts a little nick In 
the stock ‘of his rifle every time he 
is sure-he has killed a German.. I 
\ saw. him add two more nicks to the 
{thirty-eight already on his stock." 


Zouave as Gun Carriage 

The battle of Verdun has browszh: 
out the great possibilities of the 
French machine-gun companies. 

During the operations from Febru- 
ary 21-25 the French machine gun- 
ners-made hecatonebs of the enemy. 
Since then their activity continues. 
One machine gun fired, between 
February 25 and March 4, 75,000 car- 
tridges. 

One incident among thousands may 
be mentioned in order to give an 
idea of the men's bravery. During 
the fiercest period of the German 
attack a Zouave machine gunner sue- 
ceeded in saving his gun, which had 
been buried in the debris caused by 
the explosion of a shell, and he was 
carrying it with the assistance of a 
comrade, when he saw the enemy 
pedvanciig quite close to him. 
| The two men, without losing their 
ipresence of mind, established them- 
selves in a shell hole. One of the 
two Zouaves hoisted the machine- 
gun on his shoulder and kept it at 
the proper height, so that the other 
could aim properly. The two. men 
then fired all their ammunition, and 
after having stopped the advancing 
'Germans with enormous losses, they 
successfully fell baek with their gun.” 


Found His Lead Soldiers 

“A wearied and hardly tried drill 
sergeant ordered the recruits to 
‘Stand easy:’ it was the first com- 
inand that they obeyed promptly and 
‘efficiently,’ writes Mr. Pett Ridge, 
in an English paper. 

“‘T want,’ said the drill sergeant, 
‘to tell you chaps a little story of my 
early childhood. At a time when I 
was nothing more than a kid of about 
three years old, someone gave- me a 
box of lead soldiers. IT was very 
fond of them lead soldiers—played 
with ’em for howers, I did. Good as 
gold with ‘em, I was. 

“Now it ‘appened that we made a 
move just before one quarter day. 
and, in the ‘urry my favorite toys 
got lost. I .was upset. I burst into 
tears. And my mother patted me 
on the head, I remember, and she 
says: “Don't take on about it, Willie. 


‘You'll find your lead soldiers one 
day." 
“And, remarked the drill ser- 


geant. with emotion, and eyeing the 
recruits, ‘’pon me soul, if the old gel’s 
words ain’t at last come true!'” 


It is related that as Lord Beres- 
| ford, in his admiral’s uniform, was 
{pouring out tea at a reception at 
, Buckingham Palace for the wounded 
soldiers King .George and Queen Mary 
entered. Lord Beresford —hastily— 
absentmindedly even—put the teapot 
under his arm and_ stood at the 
salute. The, boiling tea trickled down 
his leg, and the soldiers laughed. 
Lord Beresford did not laugh.

THE ADVANCE, CHINOOK. ALTA,’ 


Port Trebizond 


he Ancient Port on the Black Sea 
Captured by the Russians 


port on the Black Sea, which has been 
captured by the Russians, once was 
the capital of an empire, and is where 
the second stage of the famous Ana- 
basis of the Ten Thousand ended in 
February, 400 B.C., the story of which 
is related by Xenophon. The Greek 
mercenaries. had started seven months 
before from Zapatas, near the site of 
Babylon, where their efforts had been 
slain, and reached Trebizond after a 
journey of 700 miles through an ene- 
my's country, in the dead of winter, 
and, for the most part, over rough 
mountains, From Trebizond Xeno- 
phon Jed the Ten Thousand westward 
along the coast to Chrysopolis, now 
Skutari, opposite Byzantium, now Con- 
stantinople. From Trebizond the Rus- 
sian army, protected by the fieet on 
one sida and the palisudes on the 
other, may now take the same route. 

The word “trebizond” comes from 
the Greek word for table, and the an- 
cient city is set on one of rock over- 
looking the sea—impregnable to an- 
cient and mediaeval engines of war, 
but a fine target for modern naval 
gims. From the shore, however, it 
might still be invulnerable. if only 
modern guns had been placed on the 
mountains which cover all the = ap- 
proaches from the south. 


The port has several times been be- 
sieged, but never captured, for the last 
Imperor, David, surrendered to the 
Moslems without a fight, and just as 
the besiegers were about to depart. It 
suffered the most fornidable invest- 
ment in the reign of Andronicus I., the 
second Emperor, when the Seljuks, 
under. Melik, son of the great Sultan 
Ala-ed-din, first assaulted the north- 
ern wall in the direction of the sea. 
and later attempted to storm the up- 
per citadel by night. Melik retired af- 
ter losing half his army. 

Trebizond, although for centuries of 
vast commercial importance to <Ar- 
menia and Persia, as the starting 
point of caravans trading with these 
countries, has dodged in and out of 
history for the last 2,500 years—-from 
the time it was settled by a colony of 
Greek ‘merchants until it lost most 
of its commercial importance through 
the construction of the Tiflis railway 
from the Black Sea to the Caspian, 
whose branches soon established un- 
der Greek, Latin, Persian and Mos- 
lem influences it developed a culture 
of its own, the best accounts of which 
are preserved in the writings of tra- 
vellers whom chance or business 
brought that way. 

Alberta Horsemen 

At the recent annual meeting of the 
Alberta Horse Breeders’ association 
it was stated that a total of 4,042 
horses had been purchased in © the 
province for remount and other army 
purpeses; 2,921 had been bought by 
the Canadian, 900 by the French, 
and 222 by the British government. 

The annual report touched upon 
the very valuable work done by the 
R.N.W.M.P. in the running down of 
horse thieves, 51 convictions having 
been secured. Through these convic 
tions 257 head of horses had been re 
turned to owners. 

President Geo. Lane pressed upon 
the association the need of the pazs- 
ing of some’ form of stallion enrol- 
ment legislation, pointing out that 
now that such legislation was being 
gctively enforced in Manitoba and

desirable stallions from those prov- 
inces were apt to find their way in 
considerable number into Alberta. 

Dr. Rutherford spoke strongly ap- 
proving the need of action and also 
commending the Manitoha act. Geo. 
Hoadley, M.P.P., stated that he had, 
as requested by the president, 
brought the matter to the attention 
of the minister of agriculture, but 
that he, the minister, had not con- 
sidered it pressing at present. It was 
evident the meeting did not agree 
with the minister, for a strong reso- 
lution advising the enactment of 
legislation similar to that in Mani- 
toba immediately was passed unani- 
mously. 


Snobbish Fiction 


the Canadians Think of the 
Magazine War Stories 


Naturally enough considering the 
material of which Canadian privates, 
especially those of the first con- 
tingent were made, our men express 
no little contempt for the average 
magazine war story. : 

Says the 8th number of the Twen- 
tieth Gazette, the organ of the 20th 
Batt., Northern and Central Ontario 
Regiment: 

“Why does every short complete 
story of the war centre round per- 
sonages of no less rank than a second 
lieutenant? Why is this individual 
usually in the Guards or the Buffs? 
Why is he invariably the Hon. Billy, 
or the Hon. Dicky, or Lord Blank- 
ingham, a mere happy-go-lucky, 
blase sort of a boy, educated at Eton 
and Oxford? Why. in fact, fs he 
Honorable Any “Diminutive of 
a character fondly imagined by a 
title-worshiping proletariat to be 
typical of the average Englishman? 

“Again, why does the N.C.O. drop 
his aitches and speak English like 
a grass-eating cow-puncher from 
Western Manitoba? He is never an 
educated man. He is never ‘their’ 
class. The private of the story is 
always a bovine creature of no ac- 
count, who doesn't know his head 
from a cauliflower, and who makes 
rude, ill-bred jokes which his super: 
ior officer overlooks; in fact, they con- 
descend to laugh at them. 

“Why all this twaddle whieh goes 
for story and plot in these strenuous 
days?) Why all the nauseating snob- 
bery contained in every magazine.”

Beigians are Full of Fight; 


Brave’ Troops Occupy 22 Miles of the 
Flanders Front 


Baron de Broqueville, 
. Minister of War) 
The Germans recently alleged that 
the Belgiang had been’ withdrawn 
from the front. The fact is that they 
occupy a front 22 miles long. They 
also say that our army is weakened 
in numbers and morale. I reply that | 
it never was more numerous or better | 
equipped since the war began. 

These are not empty words, but 
stern reality. Our morale was never 
higher. Every visitor to Flanders 
can testify that our king remains 
with his troops and refuses all the 
courteous invitations from the allies 
to inspect other parts of the front, 
so that he shall not absent himself 
fron. Flanders for a single day. He 
shares the dangers and hopes of the 
commonest of his soldiers, and the 
queen remains at his side. 

Unoccupied Belgium is a heap of; 
ruins, but we shall never quit this; 
soil soaked with so much_ precious! 
blood. Our confidence is unshakable. 
Like the king and the whole army, 
1 believe the allies will be victorious. 
1 have the deepest conviction that 
Belgium will be restored to the plent- 
tude of her political and economic in- 
dependence and territorial integrity in 
both Europe and Africa. 

We have done our duty and have 
nothing to regret, and in saying that 
I faithfully interpret the sentiments 
of the king, the army, the govern. 
ment and all Belgians, whether in the 
invaded country or expatriated, Flem- 
ish or Walloon. 

All the information we receive from 
Belgium is comforting. The behavior 
of the population in Brussels, Ant- 
werp, Ghent, Liege and Mons js ad- 
mirable. German newspapers are 
compelled to admit that von Hissing 
has failed to. weaken their patmot- 
ism, and that neither flattery, threats, 
promises nor persecution has succeed- 
ed in disarming or diminishing in any 
degree the hostility of our proud peo- 
yle. 

Look how the most prominent lead-

ed against von Bissing’s efforts to in- 
still the Flemish spirit in Ghent Uni- 
versity, although they themselves had 
long worked for this reform.

If Britain “Went Dry” 

Their (the British) drink bill for 
last year was $909,790,000, and prob- 
ably they are now spending a Dillion 
dollars a year on something which 
many people in the United States and 
England .manage to get along with- 
out. This war has cost Great Britain 
about $7,500,000,000. If we subtract 
from this the loans to other countries, 
which will presumably be repaid, and 
the money spent on feeding the sold- 
jiers, who would have had to be fed 
and clothed anynow, though not so 
well in time of peace, we should have 
left, using the estimate of Sir George 
Paish, a net loss to the country of 
about $2,500,000,000. If then, Great 
Britain should go dry, as Russia has, 
its total war losses could be paid up 
within the next three years, not al- 
lowing anything for the gain in in- 
dustrial efficiency and the = saving 
from the crime and impaired health 
which incidentally results from the 
consumption of a billion dollars 
worth of liquor a year—The New

Military Advantage at the Expense of 
Humanitarianism 


The captured commander of the 
Zeppelin 115, Lieutenant Briethaupt, 
has just given to the press what he 


They are designed, he says, to 
gain a military advantage. They are 
intended to destroy warships, armed 
positions, and factories; not to kill 
old men, woinen and children. That 
they practically never achieve the 
avowed object and practically always 


accomplish the disavowed aim is a, 


fact that he rather too blithely over- 
is this deification in Ger: 
many's war methods of the “military 
advantage,” at the expense of idealism 
and humanitarianism, whieh has 
shocked the world. The moment a 
military advantage is in question, be 
it never too shadowy or mythical, 


every other consideration must go by | 


the board. 2 
The rest of the world is not ready 
to accept Germany's supreme valua- 


tion of the “military advantage.” It} 


does not believe that the entire sys- 
tem of ethics evolved by Christianity 
should take a hasty. departure the 
moment the ‘military advantage” puts 
in an appearance. Belgium was sac- 
rificed because the hungry ‘“miliitary 
advantage” demanded its life. The 
Lusitania was sunk because some 
imagination was able to see the “mili- 
tary advantage’ in the act. Non- 
combatants are being regularly mur- 
dered in Great Britain 
microscopic ‘military advantage” has 
been discovered in the practice. 
Civilized nations in the past have or- 
dinarily refused to sacrifice the more 


sacred. principles of humanity in ex-/ 


change for an infinitesimal “military 
advantage.” - 

It is said that Germany cannot un- 
derstand why she has alienated the 
sympathy of the largest part of the 
neutral world, but the explanation is 
certainly not very difficult. A prejud- 
ice in favor of Christian ethics seems 
ineradicably rooted in the modern 
civilized mind. The substitution of 
the god “military advantage”. for this 
system of ethics is not one which can 
easily be effected. The average Am- 
erican, for example, flatly refuses to 
regard a fanciful military advantage 


as sufficient cause for murdering an! 


innocent babe. Murder with a phan- 
tom explanation he regards noné€ the 
less aS murder. 

It hag already been pointed out 


that the military advantages arising 
from the Zeppelin raids are largely 


negligible. Naturally this fact but in- 
tensifies their awful inhumanity. 
long as they are continued, Germany 
is carrying on a propaganda against 


herself in the neutral world which far | 


the propanganda she has 
her own behalf. The’ 


outweighs 
organized on 


adjective “militaristic” is one which | 


she has often expressly disclaimed. 
But such a flat prostration before the 
shrine of “military advantage,” jn- 
volving, as it does, the sacrifice of any 
principle that that insatiable god de- 
mands, means surrender Jess than a 
complete surrender to 
Neutrals not sharing Germany’s lim- 
itless worship of this new god cannot 
but view her novel war creed with 
painful surprise and aversion.—MAlin- 
neapolis Tribune. 


Mines Laid by Submarines 


Encrmously Complicates the Problem 
of Effective Defence 


In the earlier phases of the war 
many, if not most, of the enemy's 
mines were laid by surface vessels 
disguised as neutrals. But this game 
was attended with considerable risk 
to those who played it, and of late 
it has fallen into disfavor. The 
advent of larger submarines, such 
as the Germans are known to have 
placed in commission recently, en- 
ables the enemy to sow mines in 
places which could not be reached 
by surface vessels, and to do so with 
comparative impunity. 

A submarine of 800 to 1,000 tons 
displacement can carry fifty or sixty 
mines, each quite powerful enough 
to disable the largest dreadnought 
or to blow the bottom out of a 
cruiser. 

The Russians 
conceive the plan of: using submar- 
ines for mining work, and four years 
ago they designed a boat able to 


were the first to 


weapons. 

In spite of the spectacular exploits 
of the submarine, British naval offic- 
ers still hold the mine to be the 
more serious menace. Submarine 
attack can be baffled so long as the 
boats employ the torpedo only. But 
when, as is now the case, they as- 
sume the role of mine layers, the 
problem of effective defence is en- 
ormously complicated. 


Sold! 

It happened in Flanders, 

A young officer, a stickler for dis- 
cipline. was going his round of the 
front line trenches, when he saw a 
soldier minus his gas helmet. 

It being a strict order that no offic- 
er, non-commissioned ‘officer, or man 
should ever be without his gas _hel- 
met, our young officer was oti the war- 
path until he found that he was with- 
out his own. 

Nothing dismayed, he borrowed a 
folded one from a sentry near by. 
Thus armed with the lessons of ex- 
ample. he accosted the helmetless 
“Tommy,” and sternly demanded to 
know where his smoke helmet was. 


“See here.” he added, “we can 
carry ours; why can't you carry 
yours?” 


With which he proceeded to open 
his gas helmet satchel and pulled out 
—a pair of dirty socks!

An “Address to the People of the 
| Allied Nations,” bearing the signa- 
tures of. five hundred prominent Amer- 
;ieans in all walks of life and express- 

ing sympathy with the allies in, the 
; present war and hope of their victory, 
‘has been made public. 


| The names signed.to this memoriai 
forty-two States of the 
‘Union. More than 150 of the signers 
'helong to business and legal circles, 
‘including several former cabinet of- 
\ficials, ex-senators, ex-governors, rail- 
‘Youd presidents, ete. The clerical pro- 
jfession is represented py thirty-two 
bishops and ether prominent clergy- 
men. More than twenty college resi- 
‘dents and many other distingnished 
educators, authors, sculptors, painters, 
actors and architects have signed the 
memorial. - i 

The address follows, in part: 

“We, the undersigned citizens of 

the United States of America, send’ 
to you, the people of the nations of 
the triple entente and your allies, this 
‘message: 
“Since the beginning of the present 
i terrible world conflict there have not 
been Jacking in America individual 
expressions of ardent sympathy with 
‘the cause of Great Britain, France . 
jan their allies, and horror and de- 
jtestation of the methods employed by 
the Teuton confederates in the con- 
duct of the war. Patriotic Ameri- 
jcans, however, have hitherto  hesi- 
{tated to unite in any more formal 
statement. 

“The Wme has come, however, when 
‘Americans owe it to themselves to 
express their sympathies and their 
judgment. 

“The ablest German publicists and 
professors have presented the Aus- 
tro-German contentions with great 
eloquence. Numerous German docu- 
;ments have been widely circulated, 
and an active, and sometimes insidi- 
ous German propaganda has been ex- 
tensively carried on in the United 
States. 
| “Phe signers of this document are 
not unmindful of the great contribu- 
tions which Germany has in the past 
made to the common treasure of mod- 
ern civilization; all of which acknow- 
ledge our debt to Germany; many of 
us have had the advantage of Ger- 
; man education; some of us are of 
German blood. But the welfare of 
that civilization for which Germany 
jhas done:so much, the highest in- 
terests of; Germany herself, demand 
that in this conflict Germany and 
Austria shall be defeated. We-confid- 
jently and hopefully look forward ‘to 
i that result. 

“The invasion of Belgium we re-‘ 
gard as a crime which can never be 
justified. It will remain a blot upon 
the history of Europe. The con- 
science of the American people cries 
out and protests against outrages 
; upon civilization committed by your 
enemies, and againct their methods of 
warfare that break the international 
; laws of nations and the moral laws 
‘of humanity. - 

“The sanctity of treaties, the rights 
of small nations, the question as to 
‘whether militarism shall dominate 
civilization, are all involved in the 
' final decision. 

“A peace which does not restore 
Belgium to the Belgian people and to 
their own government, which does 
not give them such indemnity as will 
allow them so far as possible to re- 
construct their wasted cities and vil- 
lages and restore again their ruined 
prosperity: a peace which does not 
recognize’ the rights of the smaller 
nationalities of Europe; a peace which 
does not offer some guaranty that 
such a calamity as the present war 
shall not recur—a peace. which does 
‘not insure these things would he a 
‘disaster and not ® blessing. 
| “It fs because we believe that the 
‘success of Great Britain, France, 
‘Ttaly and Russia will mean the restor- 
ation of Belgium and of Serbia and 
‘the suppression of militarism that 
, Wwe ardently hope for that consumma- 
‘tion. In that hope we believe the fut- 
‘ure of civilization to be involved.” 


Australian Machine Gun 
| Australia has overcome a number 
of obstacles, notably the lack of skill- 
ed labor and proper machinery, which 
‘handicapped the output of munitions 
|during the first year of the war. In 
|New South Wales the first fruits ot 
;the state’s assistance to the Com- 
;monwea!th are apparent in the quan- 
tity of shells being turned®out at the 
state workshops at Walsh Island at 

New Castle. An immense mud_ flat 
in Hunter River has been made the 
{site of a large establishment where 
modern machines turn out about a 
thousand shells daily. One of the 
subordinate officers of the plant has 
revolved a machine gun which is said 
to excel any similar weapon yet used, 
and other experiments are being made 
with wireless controlled torpedoes 
Which, it is said, cannot be put out of 
j}comimission hy a wireless “jam” from 
a hostile ship. 

German Products Sold fn Canada 

The anti-German League, recently 
organized has been busy gathering 
evidence of the continued sale in Can- 
ada of German made goods. 

It is claimed that a number of 
houses*are still handling a consider- 
able quantity of German-made goods 
which are shipped into Canada from 
the United States. The distinguish- 
ing labels are removed and the pur- 
chaser does not know that he is 
buying articles manufactured in Ger- 
man factories. 

The question {fs likely to be raised 
in parliament.

Telephone for Every 
15 Persons in Canada 


1,396 Companies Have Earned Over 
: $4,000,000. 


According to the annual blue book 
of the railway department giving tele 
phone and express statistics, there is 
now one telephone for every 15.1 per- 
sons in Canada. The increase in the 
use of the telephone has been steady 


. during the past few months, and war 


conditions do not seem to have inter- 
rupted the progress. The number of 
telephones reported as being in use in 
1915. was 533,090, an increase of 11,- 
946 over 1914. The principal growth 
was in rural districts. The net earn- 
ings of the 1,396 companies in Can- 
ada totalled $4,764,957, which was 
$350,091 better than the result of 1914. 
The total capitalization of Canadian 
telephone companies now amounts to 
$74,285,000. 

Express earnings for 1915 show 
some shrinkage, owing to war condi- 
tions. Gross. earnings for 1915 
amounted to $11,311,797, as compared 
with $12,646,451 for 1914, Net earn- 
ings totailed only $68,668, as compar- 
ed with $283,455 in 1914. The small- 
ness of the net earnings, however, is 
perhaps not so significant as might be 
supposed, when it is considered that 
the express companies paid last year 
to railways and other carrying agen- 
cies for express privileges, a total 
amount of $5,610,224. This latter 
amount went in reality to the trans- 
poration companies which own the 
stock of the express companies. 


; The Demands of the Time 


The Farmer is Providing a Good-sized 
Portion of the Ammunition 


The man who produces one pound 
of anything of value, the man who 
improves the breed of. his own cat- 
tle, the man who makes two blades 
of grass grow where on2 grew be- 
fore, is adding to the wealth of the 
nation, to the richness of the coun- 
try. Not alone is that the case, but 
he is contributing his bit to Chris- 
tianity and to the welfare of the 
world. It is given to the farmer 
and breeder to. serve his native 
land more by his individual effort 
than is within the power of the 
ordinary follower of any other oc- 
cupation. The farmer by his own 
unaided efforts, except by the gifts 
of nature, can maintain his wife 
and family. No other worker in 
the .world’s vineyard can say 80 
much unless he is willing to go nak- 
ed and that he and his should often 
times suffer the pangs of hunger. 
And the claims upon the farmer and 
his fellow, the breeder, in present 
circumstances are not only urgent 
but many. 

There are people who object to the 
assertion that the agriculturist is 
making the earth yield its utmost 
in. tending his flocks and herds with 
care, dilligence and intelligence, is 
doing his bit, the same as the man 
{n the trenches. He is not directly 
placing his own life in jeopardy per- 
haps, .but he is helping to sustain 
those who are. ww f. ar eos 

He is providing. a good aizeh por- 
tion of the ammunition. The fault is 
not in the assertion itself, but in the 
use that is made of. it by the man 
who has no spirit for the right and 
who, the probabilities are, is doing 
his full bit neither in agriculture nor 
in any other form. of industry. 
There are possibly men on the land 
who would be more use on the. field 
of battie, but one thing is certain if 
the men _ who are of value to the 
soil and to the farmyard are taken 
away some means must be found to 
replace them. 

Canada’s future les in the womb 
of her agriculture. To make the 
best use of the opportunities that 
are and will be, to take our right- 
ful place in the world’s economics, 
we must toil, without ceasing, we 
must produce and improve, we must 
bend all our energies to results, we 
must utilize waste and, amidst it 
all, we must focus our eyes upon 
the future and pay our respects to 
conservation. Our position is uni- 
que in nearness to, and in our -fac- 
jlities for reaching, the best mar. 
kets. Transportation just now may 
be difficult and expensive, but it will 
not always be so, and when the time 
comes for greater freedom of trade 
we must be prepared for it. This 
can be done not alone by industry, 
but also by economizing; not by 
hoarding, but by the judicious use 
of our resources. A truth ever to be 
born in mind is that what is wast- 
ed by fools is turned into profit 
by the wise. Even in the midst of 
its campaign of destruction and fe- 
rocity, Germany, so word is flashed 
across the sea, is devoting attention 
to education and interna] improve- 
ment and development, 


Families Never Saw the Sun 

In Galicia, where the Russians 
won great victories, there is ‘one of 
the most remarkable underground 
cities in the world. It has a popu. 
lation of over 1,000 men, women ana 
chitdren, most of whom have never 
seen the light of day. 

It is known as the City of the Salt 
Mines, and is situated several hun- 
dred feet below the earth’s surface. 
Its being is due to the greatest salt 
mines in the world, which though it 
has been mined for man; generations, 
seems inexhaustible. The city has its 
town hall, church, theatre and as- 
sembly room, all made from the cry- 
stallized rock galt. It has long, wide 
streets and big squares, lighted by 
electricity. 

Thare are numerous 
families in this underground city 
where not c single individual in 
three or ‘our generations has seen 
the sun.

‘Every Foot of Land Being Utilized 


Germany has laid down utilization 
of the land, every foot of land, as one 
of her first principles. France has 
adopted a regulation to the effect that 
every bit of space must be used for 
production, failing this being done by 
the owner the state is to take posses-

golf courses and all meadow land are 
to be used for grazing purposes, and 
that previous pastures are to be put

also being wooded out and the land

The Sixth Overseas 


Universities Company ayats 


Reinforcements for the Princess Pat- |’ 


ricla’s Canadian Light Infantry 


Canadians, of whatever nationality, 
thrill as they recall the wonderful 
record made by the Princess Patr- 
icia’s Canadian Light Infantry at Fes- 
tubert, at Ypres, and many other bat: 
tlefields in Belgium;; how, in the face 
of overwhelming odds, they held their 
positions by their courage, steadiness 
and dogged perseverance. 

For nearly a year the P.P.C.L.I. (as 
the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light 
Infantry-is known in military circles) 
has been reinforced by a steady flow 
of recruits of the very finest of our 
Canadian manhood. These recruits, 
many now veterans, are determined 
that this fine battalion shall not lose 
its high record, but with their help 
shall have added honor and prestige 
in the future. 

«The reinforcements have been 
drawn from all over Canada, and the 
Universities of Canada have made 
this battalion their care. Already 1, 
350 officers and men have goiie for- 
ward under the title of the Universi- 
ties Companies and are doing their 
“bit” at the front or at Shorncliffe. 


Five Universities Companies have 
left Canada. 
The number of men volunteering 


from the west haS been simply won- 
derful. So much so that the authorl- 
ties of the Western Canadian Univer- 
sities decided to send overseas a bat- 
talion composed of students of the 
Western Universities and members of 
the teaching staff. This battalion is 
now recruiting and is called the 196th 
Western Universities Battalion, 
C.E.F. 

The object of the Western Universi- 
tiles Battalion and of the Universities 
Companies is the same in that it pro- 
vides a means for men to get to the 
front in congenial company, but 
though their paths are parallel, they 
are not identical in this respect. The 
Western Universities Battalion is for 
Overseas Service as a battalion, and 
the Universities Companies are rein- 
forcing the Princess Patricia’s Canad- 
ian Light Infantry. 

The P.P.C.L1. is now composed 
mainly of men from the Universities 
Companies and the steady flow of re- 
inforcements for this battalion must 
not be allowed to stop and further 
the standard of the recruits must al- 
ways be the “best that Canada can 
offer.” : 

There are many men of the Uni- 
versity type whose hearts grow warm 
as they read :.nd hear the name of the 
Princess Pat's, for they have broth- 
ers, relatives and friends in it, and 
they wish they could have an oppor- 
tunity of joining it. To these men the 
news that a sixth company is being 
recruited under Major McKergow, at 
McGill University in Montreal, will be 
welcome. 

The Sixth Company is in comfort- 
able quarters at McGill Uinversity 
and has all the advantages of the use 
of the McGill Campus and the Uni- 
versity Building, including the Mc- 
Gill Students’ Union. 

- The ‘ Universities Companies have 
been almost overwhelmed with the 
hospitaity of the residents of Mont- 
real and its suburbs. , 

The training of the Companies has 
been of an exceptionally efficient char- 
acter, and has been of a nature to de- 
velop specialists, some at musketry, 
others at signalling, others at tactical 
exercises, and again others in physi- 
cal training, bayonet fighting and 
bombing. 

The great advantage of these com- 
panies is that men of the same social 
status go forward together, and 
join a battalion in which they will 
find a large number of congenial spir- 
its. Another advantage is the rapid- 
ity with which they go forward to the 
front. The training in Montreal us- 
ually takes about three months, and 


after two months further training in|. 


England they take their place in the 
firing line without unnecessary delay, 
The reason for this is the fact that 
these companies reinforce a battalion 
already at the front. 

A considerable number of the men 
who have joined the Universities Com- 
panies have, upon reaching England, 
obtained commissions in the British 
and Canadian units. It is, of course, 
impossible to make any guarantee as 
to promotion of this character, but 
the nature of the training received 
and the reputation of the Universities 
Companiés make the chances of pro- 
motion excellent for the type of men 
that the Universitigs Companies ac- 
cept, 

Intending recruits: are examined lo- 
cally by an army medical officer, +2- 
ceive their transportation to Mont- 
real, and immediate!y obtain their un- 
iform, and start their training with- 
out delay. Readers are invited to 
make known to their friends this op- 
portunity. The officer commanding, 
6th Overesas Universities Company, 
McGill University, Montreal, will be 
glad to supply any further information 
that may be required. 


Canadian Horses Very Satisfactory 

That horses from this continent and 
especially Canadian horses, are giving 
the acme of satisfaction on the west- 


ern front is asserted by Lieut. H. 
Cowan of Westmount, and _ Lieut. 
Ellsworth, of Marysville, Ont., both 


members of the Canadian Army Vet- 
erinary Corps, who returned to Can- 
ada recently. 

“It is really marvellous,” said Lieut. 
Cowan, “how little contagious disease 
one finds among the horses on the 
western front. The Canadian horses 
seem to be very hardy. Why, they will 
sleep out in the mud week after 
week, and be perfectly healthy all the 
time. I had charge of 1,500 horses for 
ten months on the western front, and 
in that time I had only three cases of 
pneumonia, 

“I've got you stopped,” put in 
Lieut. Ellsworth. “I had charge of 
1,500 horses for ten months on the 
western front. and had only one case 
of pneumonia.” 

Client—You have an item in your 
bill, “Advice, March 8. $5.” That was 
the day before I retained you. 

-Lawyer—I know it, But don’t you 
remember on the 8th I told you you'd 
better let me take the case for you? 

Client—Yes. 

Lawyer—Well, that’s the advice. 


THE ADVANCE, CHINOOK, ALTA, 


Keeping Accounts 


m of Keeping Records Will Show 
up in Farm Affairs 


Bookkeeping has not as yet played 
an important part in the work of 
the farmer. On small farms where 
the income and the outgo amount to 
only a few hundred dollars a year 
there is not such a pressing need of 
spending much time on _ account. 
On larger farms, or in the case of 
high-priced land, however, where the 
investment runs into thousands of 
dollars, there will be financial gain 
in utilizing some sort of sensible 
bookkeeping system. 

The mere keeping of accounts, 
however, unless it leads to improved 
practice, amounts to nothing in 
farmiug or in dairy operations. If 
the record of one department of the 
farm shows up favorably . when the 
profits are summed up, more em- 
phasis can be placed on that phase 
of the work, so as to make a still 
better showing. In no department 
do records shed more light than when 
applied to dairy cows. There 
loafers or boarders in every herd, 
and those who are most up-to-date 
are willing to go to the trouble of 
keeping accounts of each individual 
cow so that the robbers may be sift- 
ed out and sent to the shambles. On 
general principles there is an edu- 
cational value in the keeping of ac- 
counts. While in a meagure one’s 
bank balance is a fairly good guide 
as to how things are coming along 
financially, still the perfection of a 
system of records adds immensely 
to the interest we have in certain 
operations, and invariably the pains- 
taking talent ‘that is: developed by a 
system of keeping records will show 
up in farm affairs themselves and from 
that standpoint alone there will be 
gain that is worth while. 


When Co-operation Fails 


Good Feelings Should Not Take the 
Place of Business Methods 


A group of farmers ordered a car- 
load of. mill feed on a co-operative 
basis. One of them volunteered to 
look after the business end of it and 
to let the others know when the feed 
arrived. It came in due time, and so 
did all the farmers except one. That 
one is a man whom everybody likes 
and trusts, a man whose word is as 
good as his bond. 

He had some good excuse for not be- 
ing there, so the man who was looking 
after the order secured a place to put 
his part of the feed and sent him word 
where to get it. Some time afterward 
he sent for the feed. Still later—some 
months later—he met the man who 
had ordered the feed for him, and paid 
him—the exact cost of the feed. 


He did not say a word about paying 
for the trouble of finding a storage 
place and putting the feed in it, or 
about paying interest on the money 
the business manager had advanced 
for him. He doubtless.appreciated the 
kindnesg of the business manager, and 
would certainly have done.as much for 
him; but he failed to consider that 
this friend was out considerable 
trouble, some labor, and the interest 
on something like a hundred dollars 
for two or three months, 


The man who acted as business 
manager in this deal has about con- 
cluded that it pays him better to go 
it alone than to try to co-operate with 
his neighbors in buying. -He says 
farmers are too neighborly, that they 
want good feelings to take the place 
of business methods. 

His disillusionment is not to be won- 
dered at. -The spirit of neighborliness 
and good will must be the basis of all 
successful co-operative enterprise, but 
this neighborliness must be put on a 
business basis. One need not love his 
neighbor less for keeping accurate ac- 
counts with him.—The Country Gen- 
tleman. 


A lazy man is a dead one who can't

Shade Trees 


Value of Property Greatly Increased 
by Planting of Trees 


It is an extravagant idea, charac- 
teristic of the times, that in order 
to have beautiful shade trees along 
our roads and around our homes 
it is necessary to purchase them at 
fancy prices from commercial nurs- 
erymen. This is far from the truth. 
It is possible to plant merely the 
tree seeds in prepared spots about a 
foot square. Of course it will take 
some time for these. seeds to develop 
into large-sized trees, but remember 
that we are planting for the next 
generation. During the ten years 
that we would think about purchas- 
ing these trees without doing so, our 
seeds will have developed into at- 
tractive-looking young trees. Or bet- 
ter still, go to the woods some of 
these days before the busy season 
comes on, carefully look over the 
young seedlings and pick out the re- 
quired number of promising trees so 
that when transplanting time comes 
there will be no time lost in search- 
ing around for suitable trees. In 
transplanting from the forest the 
temptation is always: to choose trees 
of too large a size. The smaller a 
tree the easier it may be transplant- 
ed and the quicker it recovers from 
this shock. The . safest way is to 
select small trees not over four feet 
tall. As much soil as possible should 
be taken up with the tree and held 
intact so as not to break the very 
small and fine roots. As it is al- 
most impossible to transplant a 
large tree without breaking some of 
the roots, it is generally advisable to 
clip the tips of the branches of the 
crown and to cut the lower branches 
off close to the main stem. This re- 
stores equilibrium between the re- 
duced root system and the crown. 
As the tree develops it is necessary 
to continue to remove the lower 
branches until the lowest are suf- 
ficiently high from the ground. In 
this way a long trunk and high 
branching crown are secured. It 
should be remembered that a branch 
six feet from the ground always re- 
mains six feet from the ground, for a 
tree grows in height from the tip 
only and does not stretch out its en- 
tire length. as does a growing boy. 

Where a large amount of shade 
tree planting is to be done it is often 
advisable to purchase -them from 
wholesale forest tree nurserymen, 
who will furnish most of the desir- 
able species for no more than fifty 
cents to°$5 per 100 for small sizes. 
This would be less than the value 
of the labor required to move them 
from the woods, 

When and: how. you get the trees 
is of minor importance so long as 
you get and plant them. The time 
necessary to plant a few each year 
will never be missed and within a 
few years the value of your farm 
will be increased out of all propor- 
tion to the labor spent in planting 
the trees. 


England Has Beer Without Headache 

The liquor control board has discov- 
ered a new non-alcoholic. beer, the 
sale of. which will be pushed as far 
as possible in the English public- 
houses. 

“It seems like beer, it looks like 
beer; it tastes like beer—the only 
difference is in the headache,” says 
the statement issued by the board. 

In.a test case, a workman drank 
twenty pint bottles without becoming 
intoxicated. The new drink will 
be placed at the disposal of parlia- 
ment, in the house of commons, 


“Plase, ma’am,” gaid a little girl to 
the woman who lived next door, 
“mother wants to know if you will 
lend her your gramophone this after- 
noon.” 

“What an extraordinary request! Is 
she going to give a dance?” 

“No, ma'am. We're tired of danc- 
ing to it. She wants to keep it quiet 
for a couple of hours so that baby can 
sleep!”

Must Work to Beat Subs 


A Greater Output on the Clyde Is Ur- 
gently Needed 


Arthur Henderson, president of the 
board of education, who is also chair- 
man of the national advisory commit- 
tee on war output, addressing’a con- 
ference of the Clyde shipwright work- 
ers, uttered a grave warning concern- 
ing the necessity of doing better than 
they have yet done if the British mer- 
cantile fleet is to be maintained at the 
proper strength to support the extra- 
ordinary demands to support it. 

“During the early days of the war,” 
he said, “inorder to assist the navy, 
labor was transferred from merchant 
shipping until it was _ practically 
brought to a standstill. But 1 want 
to impress upon you that we can no 
longer afford to neglect the construc- 
tion of merchant ships. We have to 
remember that the enemy is boasting 
of the success of his submarine pol- 
icy, and there are other factors con- 
tributing to the pressing demand for 
an increase of shipping tonnage. The 
president of the board of trade has 
told me how needful it is that every- 
thing possible be done to secure the 
rapid delivery of shipping now under 
construction. To assure this two 
things are absolutely necessary. 

“The employment of skilled men 
must be strictly limited to that class 
of work for which their special skill 
is essential and which cannot be per- 
formed by men of lesser skill or by 
women, and all workers must be maae 
to ‘feel that their full time in whole- 
hearted service is indispensable in 
winning the war.” . 

Mr. Henderson referred to the 
grave concern caused to the admiral- 
ty by the failure of men to work full 
time. In one Clyde area alone, out 
of a total of 152,000 hours, no less 
than 15,700 hours were thus lost. He 
concluded with an appeal to the or- 
gaized workmen to realize the na- 
tion’s need and do their best.

tion that such a gun was on-the way, 
and desperate efforts were made to 
obtain the plans regarding it. 

Realizing the eagerness of Ger- 
many in this connection, those re- 
sponsible for the turning out of the 
invention thought it well to put them 
off the scent, and so the German 
military attache in Paris had infor- 
mation secretly conveyed to him that 
a foreman in the French arsenal 
was heavily in debt,- and might be 
found “useful’’ for a consideration. 

An agent was iinmediately sent to 
the workman, offering a huge sum 
for any details that might be fur- 
nished. The foreman who was act- 
ing the traitor to order, played his 
part in the most skilful manner, and 
eventually handed over several 
drawings and plans of detached 
parts, all of which beonged to a 
guniof earlier pattern, which had not 
been a@ success, Further leakages of 
information was given to several 
foreign offices to inspect this gun of 
earlier pattern. : 

AS a result, Germany felt she had 
nothing to learn from France in the 
line of artillery, and when war 
broke out, got the surprise of her 
life when she found that her rival 
possessed a weapon that has been 
described as “an incomparable in- 
strument, an element of victory.” 


Nine Germans an Hour 

The story of a British sniper who 
hid himself in a well and picked off 
scores of Germans is related by a 
correspondent home from the front. 
The sniper was a corporal, sent out 
to annoy the enemy. He _ selected 
a well, into which he crept, making 
a little barrier of earth in front of 
him. Here he installed himself for 
16 days, doing deadly work. One 
morning he brought down no fewer 
than nine Germans in an hour. 

By the fifteenth night he had 
grown haggard and “nervy.” He 
dozed a little longer than usual and 
awoke shivering at dawn. To _ his 
dismay he found his whereabouts in 
the well had been discovered. <A 
fair-haired German giant arose in 
the grass 40 yards away. Recovering 
himself, the corporal promptly shot 
him dead. A few hours later he was 
relieved. 


The battle of Verdun hag brouzht 
out the great possibilities of the 
French machine-gun companies, 

During the operations from Febru- 
ary 21-25 the French machine gun- 
ners made hecatombs of the enemy. 
Since then their activity continues. 
One machine gun fired, between 
February 25 and March 4, 75,000 car- 
tridges. 

One incident among thousands may 
be mentioned in order to give an 
idea of the men’s bravery. During 
the fiercest period of the German 
attack a Zouave machine gunner suc- 
ceeded in saving his gun, which had 
been buried in the debris caused by 
the explosion of a shell, and he was 
carrying it with the assistance of a 
comrade, when he saw the enemy 
advancing quite close to him. 

The two men, without losing their 
presence of mind, established them- 
selves in a shell hole. One of the 
two Zouaves hoisted the machine- 
gun on his shoulder and kept it at 
the proper height, so that the other 
could aim properly. The two men 
then fired all their ammunition, and 
after having stopped the advancing 
Germans with enormous losses, they 
successfully fell back with their gun.” 

He hurried after the old gentleman, 
while a couple of negro porters jump- 
ed down off the train in great excite- 
ment. After a protracted search one 
of the porters handed up a wicker bas- 
ket containing a large leg of mutton. 

“Thank you,” said the old gentle- 
man. 

“What do you mean, sir,” roared the 
! conductor, “holding up the Oriental 
Limited! You said—" 

“I said a man’s leg was under the 
wheel, and so it was. I paid for this 
leg and if it isn't mine I'd like to

Big Irrigation Convention 


“Wise Men Not Only Pray For Rain 
They Pay For It 


(By Norman §. Rankin) ' 

On Thursday, March 30th, the first 
steps in the preparation of the pro- 
gram of the 10th annual convention 
of the Western Canada Irrigation As- 
sociation were inaugurated at Kam- 
loops when the permanent secretary 
met members of the board of trada, 
city council, Farmers’ Institute, Agri- 
cultural Association and Stock Breed- 
ers’ association, and formed a local 
board of control. J. L. Brown was uns 
animously elected as chairman of this 
board with Mr. C. E. Lawrence as sec- 
retary, and the program discussed 
freely and tentatively drawn up. Men 
prominent in irrigation and agricul- 
Sure in the western provinces were 
chosen to speak on subjects of great- 
est interest to the fruit growers and 
farmers,. and with the encouragement 
of the British Columbia, Alberta and 
the Dominion governments and the ac- 
tive executive of the association ite 
self there is every reason to believe 
that a most successful convention will 
be pulled off. July 25th, 26th and 27th 
were chosen as the most acceptable 
dates to both the prairie and the Brit- 
ish Columbia farmers. 

It is now two years since the last 
irrigation convention was held in Brit- 
ish Columbia when Penticton was the 
place of meeting. .Last year Bassano, 
on the Alberta prairies, drew in two 
hundred interested farmers at which 
time the bidding between Kamloops 
and Nelson for this year’s convention 
was very keen. The eloquence of 
J. L. Brown, Ald. Dobson and C. B. 
Lawrence finally won out and these 
men are now jubilant over the fact 
that the convention is finally coming 
to Kamloops again after an interval 
of six years, Of the members of the 
executive of the association at that 
time controlling the destinies of the 
association the then president, Wm. 
Pearce is now a resident of Ottawa; 
First Vice-President F. J. Fulton, IK.C., 
still resides in Kamloops; Second 
Vice-President R. R. Jamieson {gs 
dead; C. W. Peterson and W. H. Fair- 
field, residing respectively in Calgary 
and Lethbridge are yet both active in 
the association’s affairs; Horace Greel- 
ey resides at Maple Creek; Dr. C. W. 
Dickson of Kelowna is an officer in 
the Overseas Forces; C. A. Magrath {fs 
yet M.P. at Lethbridge; R. H. Agur 
has joined the great majority; R. M. 
Palmer of Cowichan Bay, is now vice- 
president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ 
Association; Treasurer C. W. Rowley 
manages the Bank of Commerce at 
Winnipeg; and former Secretary John 
T. Hall of Brandon passed away after 
the Calgary convention in 1911. It 
would be interesting to follow up the 
changes and movements of the 163 
delegates who registered at that con- 
vention, but space .in this article will 
not permit other than to mention that 
at this writing I recollect that, former 
President W. C. Ricardo is overseas; 
Capt. J. C. Dufresne of Penticton is 
fighting ‘in France, and Arthur Cham- 
berlain of Kamloops is also with the 
Overseas: Forces. 

_It- fa proposed at the Kamloops con- 
vention 'to post a printed Hst of these 
163 members in order that it may be 
seen how many of those who attend- 
ed the convention in 1910 are present 
at the 1916 mecting. 

The following is the local board of 
control: 

Chairman, J. L. Brown, president 
Agricultural Association and member 
of our executive; finance committee, 
S.C. Burton, chairman; reception com- 
mittee, Capt. Worsnop, chairman; ac- 
commodation committee, Ald. Dobson, 
chairman; entertainment committee, 
Mayor Tirrell, chairman; exhibition 
committee, J. F. Smith, chairman; 
publicity committee, Ald. Johnson, 
chairman; decoration committee, EB, 
Stuart Wood, chairman. 

The slogan of the Western Canada 
Irrigation Association is: “Wise men 
not only pray for rain—they pay for 
it.” It used to read: “Wise men no 
longer pray for rain—they pay for it,” 
but out of deference to objections on 
the part of religious bodies it wags 
changed to read as above. 


Plenty of Food For Babies‘ 

Samuel §S. McClure, of New York, 
has arrived at The Hague after a 
three months’ tour of Germany, Bel- 
gium, Poland, Austria-Hungary and 
Turkey. 

Mr. McClure says he made it a 
point to investigate reports in circu- 
lation that German babies are dying 
from lack of milk. He characterizes 
these reports as ludicrously untrue. 
German babies were never in better 
health and infant mortality at the 
present time is lower than ever be- 
fore in the history of the empire. 

The same thing is true with regard 
to school children and the people 
genera!ly, because health conditions 
are now more closely watched by 
the government. 

The last quarter of 1915 shows a 
record low figure for infant mor- 
tality in Berlin of 11 per cent., com- 
pared with 19.6 per cent. for the third 
quarter of 1914. 

Britain’s Relief Contribution 

The British government's contribu- 
tion for the relief of Belgium and 
Northern France is about £500,000 
monthly, Sir Edward Grey, the foreign 
secretary, said in the house of com- 
mons. 

He explained that this money was 
not paid directly, but was given by 
the Belgian government from funds 
lent it. 

Sir Edward was asked whether the 
American government had contribut- 
ed anything to the fund. He replied: 

“The United States government, of 
course, has not, so far as I know, 
lent any money to the Belgian gov- 
ernment, as it is not one of the al- 
lies.” 


Little Alice wrote the invitations for 
her birthday party, and when the lit- 
tle guests arrived at the appointed 
time, each came with a gift for the 
hostess. Alice, upon seeing her moth- 
er’s surprise, said: 

“It's all right, mamma; they are for 
me. I put in every letter a note, 
saying, ‘Please bring presents.’” 


“Flubdub's home seems badly neg- 
lected.” 

“Well, his wife is interested in pris- 
on reform, better roads, pure politics 
and clean plays.” 7

“T can’t wait,” said he quickly. 
“Come, have I your permission to 
take them away?” 

“Yes. You have mine. But you 
must have Paul's, too.” 

“Hang Paul!” ejaculated Lord 
Fastling, as, intent on securing the 


booty which he intended to carry off 
and submit for inspection to the de- 
tective, Redding, he burst open the 
door of the bedroom, and to Lady 
Ursla'’s great alarm and distress, car- 
ried off before her eyes the heavy 
dressing bag which was standing on 
the floor, half hidden by the curtain. 

“Give me the key,” sald he abruptly. 

And Lady Ursula, still frightened 
but by no means unwilling to get rid 
of the responsibility of the jewels, de- 
livered it up to him. 


. Plunging his hand into the bag, he 
took out the cases containing the 


necklace, tiarra, bracelets, rings, and 
other jewels which Paul had given to 
his bride; and bestowing an affection- 
ate and mournful kiss upon his sister, 
disappeared with his booty, leaving 
Lady Ursula perplexed, curious, and 
not without suspicion that she was in- 
curring the grave displeasure of her 
lord. 

It seemed to her a very long time 
before Paul came*back, and when he 
did come in, she thought, looking at 
him with the-keen eyes of love, that 
there was some (secret embarrass- 
ment under his charming manner of 
kissing her and asking her if she had 
been lonely by herself.” : 

“No, Paul,” she answered, “I’ve not 
been lonely, for I've had a visitor. 
Tem has been here.” 

Paul’s arms. which 
her, relaxed their grasp. 

He frowned. 

“What! Hasn’t he gone back yet?” 

“He's going this afternoon.” 

“The sooner the better,” 

“Yes.” She hesitated, “Paul, I hope 
you won't mind sometliing that I did, 
that I let him do.” 

“What was that?” 

“What was that?” 

“You know the splen@id presents 
you gave me, the jewellery, the tiara. 
and necklace, and all these things?” 

Paul said nothing.

“That they ought to be locked up in

she had too much tact to force her

respect for them to risk a collision in 
| discussion over them. 

With contrition in his eyes, he hits- 
tened towards her. 

“I beg your pardon with all my

said. “Indeed, 1 did not mean to do 
that. I do hope I didn't hurt you.” 

As he hovered over her, speaking 
in those deep, moving tones which lad 
gained her heart, and not daring so 
much as to touch her, Lady Ursula felt 
the cruel wound he had dealt her heal 
already. She looked up meekly, with- 
out a trace of resentment in her eves. 

“T did wrong in Jetting my brother

increased Paul's remorse, and acknow-

The Use of Sulphur on Chickens 

We cannot give too emphatic a

Very commonly recommended remedy

the case that from

Arthur Tlenderson, president of the 
man of the national advisory commi 
tee on war output, addressing a con- 
ference of the Clyde shipwright work- 
ers, uttered a grave warning concern- 
ing the necessity of doing better than 
they have yet done if the British mer- 
cantile fleet is to be maintained at the 
proper strength to support the extra- 
ordinary demands to support it. 
“During the eariy days of the war,” 
he said, “in order to assist the navy, 
labor was transferred from merchant 


shipping until it was practically | 
brought to a standstill, But 1 want! 


to impress upon 
longer afford to neglect the construc- 
tion of merchant ships. We have to 
remember that the enemy is boasting 
of the success of his submarine pol- 


tributing to the pressing demand for 
an increase of shipping tonnage. The | 
president of the board of trade has 
told me how needful it is that every- 
‘thing possible be done to secure the 
rapid delivery of shipping now under 
construction. To this 


assure two 
things are absolutely necessary. 
“Phe employment of skilled men 


must be strictly limited to that class 
of work for which their special skill 
is essential and whieh cannot be per- 
formed by men of lesser skill or by 
women, and all workers must be maae 
to feel that their full time in) whole- 
hearted service is indispensable in 
winning the war.” 

Mr. Ilenderson referred to the 
erave concern caused to the admiral- 
ty by the failure of men to work full 
time. In one Clyde area alone, out 
of a total of 152,000 hours, no less 
than 15,700 hours were thus lost. He 
concluded with an appeal to the or- 
gaized workmen to realize the na- 
tion’s need and do their best. 

At a reception in Paris a traveller, 
who was a strong “anti-Semite,” was 
talking to a Rothschild on the heau- 
of the Island of Tahiti, and sar- 
‘casiically remarked: “There are neith- 
er hogs nor Jews there!” 

“Indeed!” retorted the Rothschild. 
“Then you and T should go there to- 
gether. We should be great curiosi-

Fifty-Thire Bat- 


Saturday noon brought him tie re- 

spite that his lazy soul had craved for 
all week, and, shutting down his desh, 
he meandered Out of the great ware- 
‘house into sunny, snowbanked Main 
street. 
He strolled into a bar, swallowed a 
cocktail to discover an appetite, and 
whipped it into consciousness with a 
second. Then he ambled across to his 
pet cafe. 


| It was disgustingly full of khaki, he | 


reflected, and Khaki was a color that 
made him morally bilious. But he 
| found an isolated corner, and with 
eyes glued to his plate, so that he 
seemed to hypnotize his food, he soon 
ate his way from,.soup to syrup, not 
neglecting a generous serving of hali- 
i but and roast veal. 

Whilst his second cup of strong cof- 
fee was cooling at his elbow—he 
drank this to steady his nerves for 
pool—he turned to the morning 
paper, and scanned the war news. 
bloody battles of which he read, and | 
the noble sacrifice: of brave men, 
might have been enacted = on the | 
' planet Mars, for any appeal they made 
to his slothful soul. But, like a man 
|who lies in bed between warm blan- 
| kets, listening with pleasure to the! 
| storm that howls without, so loved he 
to listen to the thunderous din of war, 
as echoed through his daily paper, 
what time he enjoyed the protection | 
of the greatest fleet that ever rode the | 
‘seas, and the most valiant armies that ; 


iever trod the earth. 

He laid down the sheet presently, 
and turned his mind to his own nar- 
row little stage, on which he played 
‘his Hfe. The afternoon and evening 
lay before him like a long and pleas- 
ant road. How to extract the maxi- 
mum of personal ease and pleasure 
from the forthcoming hours--no other 
thought possessed him. 

He debated, as though it 
question of vast importance,

fand then, 


No Man’s Land that lay between their 
own glorified furrow, and that of the 
enemy, ; 

A crescent moon shed a faint light 

—a light that tricked the imagination, 
opled the intervening ‘ground 
tlrousand fantasies. A dead 
Prussian that had stared all that day 
into the very face of the sun, seemed 
suddenly to move, to turn on his side, 
and move towards the shadow of an 
abandoned machine gun. From that 
gash in the earth where lay the Hun, 
dank forms seemed to emerge and 
creep forward. The silence of the 
scene, so sharply defined by the e- 
cent bombardment, seemed loaded 
with suspense. 

“They cn ring up the curtain on 
this act soon as they please,” whis- 
:pered Pte. 4A1 to Pte. 4A2 

“Sure thing!” laughed back the 
other; “let the orchestra strike up.” 

“There 2oes the big drum,” he 
added 2 moment later, as a deep boom 


‘rent the air, sounding the enemy’s 
icy, and there are other factors con- | 


defiance. The challenge was hurled 
|back the next instant by our own ar- 
tillery, which barked out three times, | 
after a brief interval, three 
times more. 

As though this had been a pre-ar- 
ranged signal, officers moved quickly 
here and there; 
pered down the lines; there was not 
a sound, but a moment later a white 
flame shone up from every man’s 
rifle, where the moon flashed along 
his fixed bayonet. 

What inspired these men that they} 
stood so resolute there, waiting 
flinchingly the word that would rush 
them into the soutstretched arms of} 
Death? 

They had seen bleeding Belgium 
and stricken France, and were glad to 
stake their lives to the last drop of 


| blood to defend from a like fate their

ever wielded the red sword and flam- 
ing torch of war.

At the moment that these men had 
fixed their bayonets, and taken a 
stiffer hold upon their guns, the Para- 
site made his way towards the pool 
rooms. : 

Outside the city hall, he suffered 
a shock that filled his heart with a 
sullen anger, and sent the blood rush- 
ing to his face until the veins that 
crossed his forehead  triangularly 
stood out like # brand, 

Before him, barring his way, cloth- 
ed in that ubiquitous khaki, stood a 
recruiting sergeant, a man who seem- 
ed to take his. duties most seriously, 
to judge by the sharp scrutiny of his 
keen grey eyes. 

“Won't you come and 
hand, m’lad? There's 
you.” 

The words, though spoken quietly 
enough, seemed to the Parasite as a 
lash across the face. A hundred times 
a day, this khaki-crazy world . asked 
him this question, not by word of 
mouth, but by wondering glances cov- 
ertly directed at him by maid and 
matron and man, whose brothers and 
sons had gone forth ready to. sacri- 
fice all to avenge the desolated 
hearths of Belgium, and fo defend 
their own homes from the most con- 
summate butcher that ever blackened 
and blood-smeared the pages of -his- 
tory. 

“Don't waste your time on me,” he 
and pushed his way past 
the sergeant, with averted eyes.

,over and behind the men, kicked back 
‘their load of fron hail, and raked the

Curidus bundles lay about in the

They 
stood rigid as statues, their tunics 
muddied and torn, resting on their 
guns. Their eyes for lack of sleep— 
for this was the third day of their 
watch—were bright as any star in the 


heavens; their faces were grey and 
gaunt, reflecting a great patience 
which months of endurance had 


stamped there and a noble adherence 
to duty. 

They were waiting. The spirit of 
an almost tragic expectancy brooded 
over that trench. Until their eves 


ached and throbbed, the lookout men | 


They fixed bayonets. 

And whilst Death himself stood over 
them, and lashed them down with a 
flail of steel, these men did not flinch. 
They were soldiers. Months of hard- 


ships, or uncomplaining endurance of | 


every kind of peril, of unswerving 
obedience to duty, had made them 
soldiers. They were purged of all 
the little follies anc excesses of their 
recruit days. The .xstinct to fight for 
their country against her foes, which 
had first prompted thei to enlist, this 
seedling of unselfish sacrifice, had 


grown and developed into a great 
ideal. 

They were the bulwarkse of their 
country. They stood between their 


‘homes and Devastation. They fought 
the most ruthless and revengeful foe 
that ever Hate inspired to deeds of 
shame. And through them Canada 
dealt out her judgment upon the in- 
famy and treachery of a nation which

Inflexible, with bayonets fixed, they 
waited only for the word of com- 
mand. 

* * * * 

And while they waited, the click 
of pool balls proclaimed the diversion 
of the Parasite. He took this game 
most seriously, and enjoyed himself 
| gravely. Before each stroke, he chalk- 
fed his cue with a judicial and cere- 
monial air, and ‘addressed himself to 
the table with admirable concentra- 
tion. . 

He was in congenial company; 
there were few khaki coats in tho 
;toom. -In the society of slackers he 
| Was thoroughly at home. They gave 
| him cenfidence, and at such times his 
distaste for the army grew more vio- 
lent than ever. His “business ties’— 
represented by so many decllars per 
week—assumed greater importance fn 
i his mind, until he felt quite a man of 
affairs, in whom the commerce of the 
country was not a little involved. 

He glanced at the clock, and was 
! surprised that he had spent four hours 
around the green cloth. He had kill- 
ed the time very pleasantly, he re- 
flected. 

{ “Let's go get a highball, and some 
| supper,” he suggested. “Then we'll 
take in a show.” 

* ” * * 


After the fourth hour, there was a 
noticeable change in the character of 
the bombardment. The roar of the 
guns, though almost as heavy and 
| quite as incessant as ever, hailed from 
' behind, The British artillery, strong- 
ly reinforeed—for this advance action 
had long been pre-concerted—seemed 
‘now to have reached the very zenith 
[of its attack, whilst the Prussian fire 
had become intermittent and halt: 
hearted—many of their batteries be- 
ing out of action. 

An Ambulance Corps was busy in 
Hell Ditch, laying the wounded upon 


stretchers, to be borne away, by Haz- > 


ard Avenue and a network of trenches, 
to a base hospital, Even as they 
worked, a word winged its way eag- 
erly down the line, and every able 
soldier sprang swiftly to attention, 
and even the wounded sought to rise, 


Thirty seconds, forty seconds, fifty ° 


seconds, they.stood as on parade, and 
then the command all had. waited so 
long and patiently for was whisper- 
ed fatefully from ‘section to section, 


and in three’ unswerving ranks, 
bristling with bayonets, they swept 
across No Man's Land—No~ Man’s 


and no longer. 

Furious sprays of stee from mach- 
ine guns, and a cyclone of rifle bullets 
searched ‘and devasted their ranks, 
but could not stay these valiant boys. 
In three successive raves, each 
stronger than the last, they hurled 
themselves upon the Prussian trench, 
and because they had seen the things 
these Huns had done against the 
weak and hepless in mutilated France 
and Belgium, filling them with an ang- 
er that seemed to scorch their hearts, 
they fought as; only those can who 
know they fight on the side of God 
and the Angels. 

And when the red dawn broke, 2 
little more of France lay in the hands 
of the Allies. 

* % * * 

A week later, his leg shattered by 
shrapnel, Pte. 4A1 lay in a French 
hospital, and wrote a letter to his 
mother, out in the Canadian West. 

This letter, because of the appeal 
it sounded, was published later in a 
Winnipeg paper. 

“Tell the boys,” it ran, “that they 
must come and help us, and not do- 
lay. They would not need any coax: 
ing if they coud see what I have 
seen, peaceful villages and innocent 
country towns burned to the ground 
for sheer spite, ang women and child- 
ren mutilated, and worse. No man de- 
serving of the name, can know that 
such things are, and not lend a hand 
to stop them.” 

The Parasite, seated in his favorite 
cafe, put down the paper in which he 
had just read this passage. He looked 
troubled and perplexed. Had_ these 
words, straight from the heart of a 
wounded soldier, touched his man- 
hood at last? What were his thoughts? 

Well, he was debating with himself 
whether to play pool that evening, or 
ee to a show.—Pte. W. L. Chinneck.

Fooled the Spies 

When France wis first, manufac: 
turing her wonderful 7 c.m. cannon 
German spies conveyed the informa- 
tion that such a gun was on the way, 
an{ desperate efforts were made to 
obtain the plans regarding it. 

Realizing the eagerness of Ger- 
many _in this connection, those re- 
sponsible for the turning out of \the 
invention thought it well to put them 
oft the scent, and so the German 
mnilitary attache in Paris had infor- 
mation secretly conveyed to him that 
a foreman in the French arsenal 
was heavily in debt, and might be 
found “useful” for a consideration. 

An agent was immediately sent to 


the workman, offering a huge sum 
for any details that might be fur- 
nished. The forema,n who was act- 


ing the traitor to order, played his 
part in the most skilful manner, and 


eventually handed over several 
drawings and plans of detached 
parts, all of which beonged to oa 


gin of earlier pattern, which had not 
been a suecess. Further leakages of 
{nformation was given to several 
foreign offices to inspect this gun of 
earlier pattern. 

As a result, Germany felt she had 
nothing to learn from [France in the 
line of artillery, and when war 
broke out, got the surprise of her 
life when she found that her rival 
possessed a weapon that has been 
deseribed as “an incomparable — in- 
strument, an element of victory.”

“WHE ‘ADVANCE: 


Why Cheers For Kaiser 

A contingent of Irish recruits were 
leaving their native village for the, 
military centre, amid cheers from 
the assembled villagers and the de- 
parting men. Suddenly one of the 
recruits called for “Three cheers for 
the Kaiser.” When the contingent 
arrived at its destination this man 
was called up before the officer in 
charge and asked what he meant by 
such. conduct... He was quite cheer- 
ful about it. “Och, Colonel,” he said, 
“you don’t understand Ireland. If ‘t 
hadn't) been for the Kaiser, there'd 
have been no blooming war.”

and a feeling of depression. Pimples 
or eruptions may appear on the skin, 
or there may be twinges of rheuma- 
tism or neuralgia. Any of these indi- 
cate that the blood is out of order— 
that the indoor life of winter has left 
its mark upon you and may easily de- 
velop into more serious trouble. 

Do not dose yourself with purga- 
tives, as sO many people do, in the 
hope that you can put your blood 
right. Purgatives gallop through the 
system and weaken instead of giving 
strength, Any doctor will tell you 
this is true. What you need in spring 
is a tonic that will make new blood 
and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills ig the only medicine that 
can do this speedily, safely and sure- 
Iv. Every dose of this medicine makes 
new blood which clears the = skin, 
strengthens the appetite and makes 
tired, depressed men, women and 
children bright, active and_= strong. 
L. R. Whitman, Harmony Mills, N.S., 
says: “As a tonic and strength build- 
er I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills 
wonderful. My whoie system was 
badly run down, and although I faith- 
fully took a tonic given me by my 
doctor | could note no improvement. 
Then I began Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills 
and was soon restored to my old time 
health. I can most heartily indorse 
this medicine.”

before. 

“The elevators are full to overflow:

grain, excluding the hospital elevators,

tatu Sukuan, a nephew of the late, 
King Thakomhan, who enlisted in the | 
Foreign Legion. He writes: “A thing | 
that amazed me were the shells that 
were fired. They seemed like the 
noise of a trumpet; then like a whis- | 
fle with a devilish voice, and we were | 
not at all comfortable. It was as if 
the elements Were kicking our sides | 
and our heads shook, and it was as 
if our stomachs were on fire. When | 
the Germans mustered up courage 
enough to attack they came twice 
under the fire of our great guns, and 
we scattered them like a flock of 
fow's, and then our artillery. and 
machine guns ate them up.”

The Lewis Machine Gun 

One of the guns which has been 
adopted by the British for land -ard 
aerial operations is the Lewis maci- 
Ine gun. Canadian battalions also are 
armed with this quick-firing weapon, 
the invention of Colonel J. N. Lewis, 
late of the United States army. It 
weighs twenty-six and a half pounds, 
is marked by great simplicity, and can 
be dismantled or assembled in thirty 
seconds, It fires existing service am- 
munition at the rate of five hundred 
rounds per minute, is gas-operated and 
air-cooled, and may be fired continu- 
ously in any position without danger 
of overheating. It is particularly 
adapted for firing from aesoplanes 
and from armored cars or automobile 
mounts.

for Flaxseed

The annual production of flaxseed 
in North America is from 15,000,000 
to 18,000,000 bushels, while the con- 
sumption is;about 30,000,000 bushels. 
The shortage of 12,000,000 to 15,000,- 
000 bushels is normally imported from 
Argentina, 

The war, however, has forced th? 
freight rate from Buenos Ayres up to 
70c a bushel, and has correspondingly 
increased the price of every bushel on

instead of selling at 70 or 80 cents

of the tragedies of modern life. 

_Men in the very prime of life, and in 

- the midst of business activities, are 

4 suddenly cut off. In many cases the 

f blow comes before they realize their 
condition. 

And what is the cause? Most 
usually overeating and drinking, com- 
bined with too little bodily exertise. 
The blood becomes overloaded with 
poisons. The kidneys break down in an 
effort to filter the blood, degeneration 
of the arteries takes place, an artery in 
, the brain bursts, a clot is formed and 
paralysis results. Or it may be an 
artery in the heart that gives way and 
causes heart failure. 

And how is this condition to be 
avoided ? By moderation in eating 
and drinking, and by keeping the liver, 
kidneys and bowels regular and active. 
If you do not get sufficient exercise to 
accomplish this, it is necessary to use 
such treatment as Dr, Chase’s Kidney- 
Liver Pills. It is only by the action of 
these organs that the blood can be 
purified and the poisons removed from 
the system. In using
